i don't know any, but i will tell you this, if you played any other instruments before drums or percussion you can do it automatically. i used to play trumpet, and i was pretty good. but ditched it when i graduated middle school.

You might also want to refer to some basic drum books, too, since it's easier to read music notes than my footnotes... Good luck and

keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
